Meshing point clouds one of the most requested tasks when managing 3d scanning data is the conversion of point clouds into more practical triangular meshes. Like existing implicit surface reconstruction methods, our algorithm first builds an octree for the given set of oriented points, then computes an implicit function over the space of the octree, and finally extracts an isosurface as a watertight triangle mesh. For this extraction the marching cubes algorithm is used to build an octree. It provides a set of tools for editing, cleaning, healing, inspecting, rendering, texturing and converting meshes.
